    Some places you visit... and some places you experience. Meet Me at Marie's definitely falls into the second category. We stopped by this Black-owned wine bar on Austin Street and grabbed a table on the left side near the door. Right away the vibe felt right. The space was cozy but lively, and the DJ was absolutely on point. The music was so good that what started as "just one dance" quickly turned into a full line-dancing situation for most of the night. We started with a cheese board, which paired perfectly with the bottle of wine we ordered (something with "Poppy" in the name -- and trust me, it was really good). Now here's where the night took an unexpected but memorable turn. I danced so long that I completely missed the kitchen closing at 10 PM. By about 10:30 the dancing had caught up with me and I realized I was starving. I asked if there was any chance I could still order something, fully expecting the answer to be no. Instead, the owner and bartender went above and beyond. They actually went back to the kitchen and made it happen. A little while later I had a fresh pepperoni pizza in front of me -- and it was delicious. That kind of hospitality sticks with you. Between the great DJ, good wine, tasty bites, and genuine customer care, Meet Me at Marie's delivered a night that was equal parts chill wine bar and dance floor fun. Safe to say... I'll definitely be back. And next time I'll try to remember to order before the kitchen closes -- but it's nice to know they've got your back if you forget.

    The highlight of our recent trip to Waco was our nightly wine tastings with Sidney, the owner of Marie's Wine Bar. It's a cool and cozy place in the middle of the best block in downtown Waco on Austin street. Get a bottle or do a tasting with a card swipe system on one of the machines along the walls. Highly recommended!!

    This is a little hidden gem in downtown Waco. When you first walk in, you're greeted by Sidney, a super friendly, gentle giant, with a bellowing voice that resonates with welcoming excitement. It is obvious that he loves what he does and enjoys making people happy. The concept is a self-serve wine bar with a laid back, jazz feel. After Sidney, or one of his knowledgeable, friendly staff has enthusiastically introduced you to the large selection of wines, and given a brief tutorial on how to use the dispensers, you're issued a pre-paid card with the money amount of your choosing (The card is refillable.). Now you are free to go on and explore the vast selection at your leisure. Each dispenser offers a sample pour so you can try them all. Now don't be mislead by "self-serve". Marie's also has a very friendly and capable staff that is willing to assist you to make you visit memorable and enjoyable. They can also whip you up some incredible cocktails, mocktails. Another unique offering at Marie's is their programing and entertainment. Live music, Sip & Paint, comedy shows, book signings, holiday events are just a few offerings on their ever changing calendar. Follow them on Facebook for updates. Marie's also offers some unique food choices featuring a few traditional, homemade Thai dishes curated by Chef Thip, native to Thailand. Thip uses only natural and organic ingredients, with many of the herbs and spices picked from her own garden. The Phanang chicken Curry, and Moo Ping (marinated grilled pork skewers) are popular favorites. If you're not feeling Thai, Marie's offers handmade Flatbreads, Charcuterie boards, and other dishes to enjoy. One last note, Marie's also offers event space and catering for your next party or gathering. I've been to a few events and they were fantastic and the food was amazing. Sorry for the long review, but this cool little place deserves to be seen.

    Wow, what a gem!!! Enjoying great music from Fred Smith on the sax. The owners wife treated us to several songs on vocal. Wine, food and service all great. We will be back!!!!

    Me and my friend stopped and asked if it was possible to use the restroom, the owner was extremely disrespectful about it, in front of other customers, he spoke so disrespectfully to me and my friend when we simply tried to use the restroom. If the restrooms were for paying customers only, I did not mind buying a few drinks but he wasn't even the slightest bit welcoming. I do not recommend this place for new customers.

Inside there's a long bar with plenty of bar seating, along with tall two-tops and standard four top tables. For a large party you been rent out half the space or all of the space. The service was like being waited on by friends. They were so helpful in explaining everything and, if you're inclined, they're happy to talk about what they've built here together -- Mother, Son, and Daughter-in-Law, all working in harmony to make this place sing. We've tried a number is wines and dishes get. The Pintxos are amazing. The Tapas are totally on point with our favorite being the Albondigas meatballs. And the charcuterie featured really high quality chorizo, Serrano ham, Manchego and Mahon cheeses, almonds, grapes and an amazing quince jelly that's firmer than a standard jelly and quite delicious. Well be back. And we'll bring friends :-)

Had Steak & Frites and asked for my waitress to have the steak cooked medium. It was brought to me rare. They put us at a corner table literally 8 feet from the kitchen which was very noisy and hard for my wife and I to have a conversation. Waitress, service and food were all unacceptable. Will not be going back! For as much as they charge for lunch or dinner, you would expect better quality food and service. My wife had the Tomato and Peach salad and she complained that the salad had too much pink peppercorns.

Sorryhardto call it a classic gastropub. On another level, it's sort of a new American cafe, and in this particular vein of thinking, it certainly hits a lot of the high notes. The food is well-selected, with a smattering of farm-to-table plates, various proteins, and the classic pub selection of small bites. I really like the outdoor patio. The swamp coolers help to make the area hospitable even in the middle of the summer. I sat outside by myself, not too far from one of those blasting humidifiers, and enjoyed a nice cold beer and a delicious burger. My server was incredibly kind and very attentive. I think, in the long run, what I would most consider Milo to be is a restaurant that has a bar, that serves primarily farm-to-table delicious food. Yeah, that-seems to sum-it all-up. Oh, and the service is excellent.

Presentation of the dishes was attractive and thoughtful, and we were pleased with our wine selections. We started by sharing the poblano corn chowder. Unfortunately, the dominant impression was salt. The soup was more of a brown, creamy sauce with chicken and corn than the aromatic, herb-forward poblano chowder I was expecting. Beyond the saltiness, there wasn't much depth or complexity of flavor. For entrées, we ordered the steak and the ahi tuna tomahawk. Both were visually impressive, but once again the overwhelming characteristic was salt. The tuna may have had a hint of tarragon, but it was difficult to appreciate much else. The steak was exceedingly salty--surprisingly so, even for someone who is not shy about using salt. Service was courteous but somewhat inattentive and slower than expected. At this price point, I would have hoped for more attentive service and a broader range of flavors rather than repeated assaults on the sodium receptors. One final curiosity: water was served in what appeared to be small jelly jars, which felt a bit odd given the otherwise upscale presentation. Overall, Blaine's gets good marks for ambiance, presentation, wine, and especially the live music. Unfortunately, the kitchen's heavy-handed use of salt overshadowed much of the meal. With more restraint in seasoning and a bit more attention to service, this could be an exceptional dining experience.
